Workshops and seminars offer an intensive, focused approach, allowing students togain practical skills through direct interaction with technologies like LiDAR and GPS.Additionally, short presentations or modules embedded within existing courses ensure that thesetechnologies are seamlessly integrated into the broader curriculum. For example, adding aLiDAR demonstration to a Plan Reading course or a GPS exercise to an Estimating course canprovide students with context-specific applications of these tools.Blending new material with traditional course delivery

training into the engineering curriculum canbe undermined by unsupportive faculties and departments. In their study of undergraduateengineering students, Guanes et al. [28] found that even when students could identify theimportance of empathy to engineering work, they prioritized personal goals over empatheticchoices. This disconnect reflects students’ struggle to meaningfully integrate empathy into theirprofessional epistemology. To shift students’ view of what it means to be an engineer and howengineering work is done, empathy must be well integrated and effectively modelled throughouttheir post-secondary training [4], [28], [31], [37].
